Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12379919 | https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2016/016194s079s080lbl.pdf | https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00652

Pentazocine is a synthetically prepared prototypical mixed agonist-antagonist narcotic (opioid analgesic) drug of the benzomorphan class of opioids used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. Pentazocine is sold under several brand names, such as Fortral, Sosegon, Talwin NX. Pentazocine acts as an agonist of κ-opioid receptors and as an antagonist of μ-opioid receptors. This compound may exist as one of two enantiomers, named (+)-pentazocine and (−)-pentazocine. Side effects are similar to those of morphine, but pentazocine, due to its action at the kappa opioid receptor is more likely to invoke psychotomimetic effects. High dose may cause high blood pressure or high heart rate.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Initial dose: 30 mg by intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous route. This may be repeated every 3 to 4 hours. Doses in excess of 30 mg intravenously or 60 mg intramuscularly or subcutaneously are not recommended. Maximum daily dose: 360 mg
Route of Administration: Other
Cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells (1 × 10^6 / well) or SK-N-SH cells (0.3 × 10^6 / well) were preincubated with or without PTZ (Pentazocine) for the indicated times and further incubated at 37°C for another 12 min in KRH buffer containing 100 μM pargyline, 1 mM ascorbic acid, and [3H]NE (500 or 100 nM, respectively, 0.1 μCi) in the presence or absence of desipramine and PTZ. KRH buffer was composed of 154 mM NaCl, 5.6 mM KCl, 1.1 mM MgSO4, 2.2 mM CaCl2, 10 mM HEPES-Tris, and 10 mM glucose, adjusted to pH 7.4. After incubation, the cells were rapidly washed three times with 250 μl of ice-cold KRH buffer and solubilized in 500 μl of 10% Triton X-100. The radioactivity in the solubilized cells was counted with a liquid scintillation counter.
